Paypal use to be paradise in the 1990's, 2000's and even early 2010's when it came to transaction and avoiding or trimming taxes. But in the 2000's government started cracking on paypal and things became tighter. Now paypal is worse then your bank when it comes to disclosing your information to IRS or CRA (if your in canada). Can government force the hands of wallets like bitcoin or exchanges like Quadrigacx. I traded and have transactions totalling over 200k for the last 2 years via my bitcoin wallet and quadrigacx exchange.
